How Does PayPal Make Money With My Money?

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, there are approx. 100,000 complaints outstanding at PayPal (Are any of these yours?). In many instances disputes can run on for months leaving people frustrated and out of pocket as they are unable to access their accounts. So what happens to the millions of dollars tied up in frozen accounts and disputes? Well, here is a clip from the San Francisco Chronicle that basically sums it up:

U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel of San Jose refused to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks class-action status on behalf of thousands of PayPal customers nationwide. A common allegation is that the company brushes off or stalls customer grievances for months and meanwhile freezes the customer's account and pockets the interest (So that's how they make their money!). No wonder they freeze so many accounts!

Better Business Bureau

By Charles Scott

Perhaps you site owners will post this line right under your “Contact Paypal Warning” line. Say, “Report your case in its entirety to the Better Business Bureau online at BBB.org”

Tell everyone to report their Pappal crookery matter to the Better Business Bureau at bbb.org. Ebay and Paypal *has to maintain an acceptable ratio of claims concluded to the reporter’s satisfaction. If they don’t, they lose their BBB endorsement. This means more to Ebay and Paypal than almost anything.

My findings are that less than 3,000 a year ever do this. So when they get inundated with complaints, someone will finally have gotten their attention, proving too, that eBay and Paypal are not “sovereigns unto themselves.”

You may sign my report Air America as I am one of the leading detractors of these crooks.

(I include my email adress because I will assist everyone who asks for help about this, I know what I am doing.)
